What's this trip about?

    Yes, this unique trip to India focuses on yoga and meditation, but it is far more than simply asanas (postures)or even philosophy, far more than even the union of mind and body. In fact, the essence of yoga is working towards the union of our individual consciousness with Divine consciousness, in hopes of liberating ourselves from suffering and finding eternal bliss. The asanas and meditation are simply vehicles for achieving this union.
